In the otherwise excellent documentation at :
http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMB/DBD-Oracle-1.14/Oracle.pm#Connection_Exam
ples_Using_DBD_Oracle
It's not too clear how to connect to a local database with a user which has
been set-up to
authenticate via the OS (alter user USERNAME identified externally)
i.e. Thinking, as I did, that you can do :
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Oracle:SID','/');
and getting this kind of the error :
ORA-01004: default username feature not supported; logon denied (DBD ERROR:
OCISessionBegin)
I think an explicit example like this would help :
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Oracle:','/');
